The Road
i travel the road within and without to distant lands and inner truths freely unencumbered i hear the call beckoning me forward inward like a distant whisper of things to come knowing my thirst for discovery no matter how far no matter how long i travel the road leads me back to myself to myContinue reading “The Road”
Don’t Let Yesterday Get In The Way
And now we face the sunrise to the east In gladness, we shall laud a brand new day The inner demons and the wayward beast Are banished to the dark and kept at bay Come let us greet the dawn with break of feast And meet the morning troubles, come what may We’ll find thatContinue reading “Don’t Let Yesterday Get In The Way”

The bar isn’t open yet, so I decide to take some pictures of the nearby buildings and landmarks from uniqueContinue reading “Delirious”
O Mother Earth
O Mother Earth, we shan’t despoil The place we come to learn and toil The oceans blue should never boil The ground below — the sacred soil Should bring forth life, and never roil Can we release this mortal coil? O Gaia fair, our home divine Of gardens green, from root to vine Of ancientContinue reading “O Mother Earth”
